#1 is not a Gauntlet stick. They used leaf switches.

Good call, it does say "STC Rotterdam" under the hub. I hadn't ever noticed that before. It's in dire need of an overhaul tho. The joystick itself slides up and down so far that it misses the microswitches underneath.

So my guess was correct :) STC used to stand for Suzo Trading Company, but now it's used as Suzo Technical Components. Rotterdam (in The Netherlands, for those who do not know ;) )was their home from the start, but they've moved to a place outside of Rotterdam now.

The sliding is probably caused by a missing E-clip ? If that's the only thing, you should be able to get one at any hardware store. However, the handle looks very shiny, and normaly (new state) they are matt. So it has been used quite a lot.

I had two Suzo 500 sticks on the Jamma cab I bought. The left one (player 1) was obviously used the most, there was some room to move the stick which shouldn't be there. The other one was as new though. Those sticks should cost around the

I have those #1 joysticks on my Klax machine.

Agree.  #1 was also used in cyberball.

Lithium grease, as recommended in the manuals.

eh, one of my two is really sticky, needs to be cleaned and greased.  The other one is ok.  I prefere the feel of my supers though.
